DistroKid has been quietly taking down songs in response to UMG lawsuit

Artists are taking to social media to complain that DistroKid has unceremoniously removed their work without notice. Now DistroKid has confirmed to The Verge that the takedowns are a direct response to claims made by UMG. The label filed a lawsuit in September claiming that DistroKid has created an "AI-slop pipeline." Artists are saying that […]

Template-Controlled Login UX: Polling SMS OTP Status Without Webhooks

TL;DR: For a B2B SaaS login without webhooks, keep the signup verification message in the application repository when product engineers own the flow, then use bounded polling for SMS OTP delivery status. Treat that status as operational evidence, not proof that a person received or read the code. Stop querying, let the code-entry screen remain usable, and offer a controlled resend when the window ends. Template owner Pick this when Main trade-off Status strategy Applic...

Backend Error Tracking Setup to Capture Express NodeJS Exceptions

A useful error-tracking setup for a nightly property data pipeline must preserve the exception that explains a failed run and attach stable cost dimensions that explain who created the work. The practical decision is to emit one structured error event at the boundary, correlate it with the pipeline run, and aggregate cost from usage records rather than guessing from exception counts. This keeps the dashboard useful when one malformed lease triggers 200 retries but another error stops 20,000 un...

touchgrass-cli - a local AI that tells you to close the terminal and go outside

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Every screen-time app I have tried fights screen time with more screen time. Streaks, badges, weekly reports, notifications telling me to check my notifications. I wanted the opposite: a tool whose whole job is to make itself unnecessary. touchgrass is a tiny command line tool. You tell it how much time you have and how you feel, and an open-weight model running on your ow...

Understanding Voice Cloning: The Technology Behind It

What Is Voice Cloning, Anyway? If you’ve ever heard a synthetic voice that sounds exactly like a real person, you’ve experienced voice cloning. In a nutshell, voice cloning is a subset of text‑to‑speech (TTS) that captures the nuances of a specific speaker—intonation, pacing, breathiness, even the tiny quirks that make a voice unique. The result is a model that can read any arbitrary text while sounding just like the original speaker. For developers, voice cloning opens doors to persona...

TerraTale: a treasure map that only grows where you walk

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built TerraTale is a treasure map of your neighbourhood that is blank until you walk it. You start with a sheet of parchment and exactly one hex inked in: wherever you live. Every real walk inks in the ground you actually covered. A local Gemma writes the legend for what is there. Print it weekly. It is for anyone who already walks and wants the walking itself to be the point...

I built RespKit to make Go API responses easier to manage

I've been working on RespKit , a Go package for keeping HTTP responses consistent across an application. The idea came from something pretty ordinary: writing the same response-formatting and error-handling code in different handlers. One endpoint returns data , another returns result , and error responses gradually pick up their own formats too. I wanted a shared place to handle those decisions, with simple defaults and room to customize things as an application grows. Repo: github...

Nx self-hosted remote cache in 2026: 4 things that surprised us on Nx 23

Since Nx 21, custom task runners ( tasksRunnerOptions ) don't run, and in May 2026 Nx deprecated its own bucket plugins ( @nx/s3-cache , @nx/gcs-cache , @nx/azure-cache , @nx/shared-fs-cache ). The replacement for teams that won't use Nx Cloud is the self-hosted HTTP cache that landed in Nx 20.8: two environment variables and any server that implements Nx's OpenAPI spec. NX_SELF_HOSTED_REMOTE_CACHE_SERVER = https://cache.example.com NX_SELF_HOSTED_REMOTE_CACHE_ACCESS_TOKEN = <t...

PostgreSQL Connection Pooling in Go: What I Actually Tune in Production

In my last post, lesson 3 was "your database is the bottleneck, not Go" — use pgx, size the pool deliberately. A few of you asked what "deliberately" actually means. Fair question. Here's every pgxpool setting I touch in production, what it does, and the number I actually use. No theory — just the config running behind real traffic. 1. The pool is the choke point, not your code Go will happily spin up 10,000 goroutines to serve requests. If your pool holds 20 connections, 9,...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Touch Grass The Problem: The Screen-Time Paradox When you spend your days wrestling with complex code, algorithms, and computational physics, your brain hits a wall. Staring at a display longer yields zero marginal productivity. The best debugger is walking away from the screen. However, standard habit trackers feel like chores.
